Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights. Today we're going to talk about eyelashes and really important nutritional factors in

relationship to helping you grow your eyelashes or make them thicker or longer.

Now per eyelid, you have about one to 200 hair follicles. And the hairs that grow out of your eyelids

go through two different phases. One is a growth phase and a rest phase. And when people start

either losing their eyelashes or they become small and very thin, there's a problem with one of

these two phases. And there's a lot of different

technical names for these conditions that describe them. But that doesn't really tell you what's

really behind this problem. I mean, if we just take a look at the basics, we have the eyelash.

What is an eyelash? Well, it's protein. What makes up protein? Immino acids. What makes up

amino acids? Well, we have a combination of this biochemical reaction occurring with certain raw

material, which one really important factor would be trace minerals. So you need trace minerals

to make amino acids, which then help

turn into proteins, which are basically just a long chain of different amino acids. And when you're

missing certain trace minerals, devastating things can happen to your body. Much like missing a

trace mineral in the soil will have devastating effects

on the plants as well as devastating effects on the animals that eat the plant. And on top of that,

the devastating effects of humans eating animals that are deficient in certain trace minerals.

Now, I just want to mention a book that I'm reading, which is actually relates to this topic.

It's a fascinating book.

This is it right here.

I don't know if you can see it.

Soil, grass, and cancer.
